“Weird Al” Yankovic wraps up his eight-day string of video releases with “Mission Statement,” which premieres today on Speakeasy.

The song, from Yankovic’s new album “Mandatory Fun,” is in the style of Crosby, Stills & Nash (think “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” or “Carry On”). The song features Yankovic harmonizing with himself on lyrics constructed of corporate jargon, like “operationalize our strategies” and “leverage our core competencies,” while the animated whiteboard video depicts a live-action hand that is drawing illustrations to go with the words.

“I wanted to do a song about all the ridiculous double-speak and meaningless buzzwords that I’ve been hearing in office environments my entire life,” Yankovic says by e-mail. “I just thought it would be ironic to juxtapose that with the song stylings of CSN, whose music pretty much symbolizes the antithesis of corporate America.”

Yankovic tapped TruScribe to make the video, which took about 10 months to complete, says Eric Oakland, chair and chief innovation officer of the Fitchburg, Wis., company. Yankovic had a “pretty clear” idea of what he wanted, Oakland says, and the agency’s artists worked together to flesh out the singer’s concept. “We hadn’t done anything like that before,” Oakland says. “We had done long-form, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, but to be lyric heavy—music creates a mood that you have to match, too.

Though Yankovic doesn’t always know whether the artists he’s parodying hear his versions, Graham Nash certainly did. Yankovic said in a recent Reddit AMA chat that when he ran into Nash last year in New York, Nash asked when Yankovic was going to record a parody of “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.” Yankovic wrote, “I whipped out my iPhone and played ‘Mission Statement’ for him. Instant request! (He loved it, BTW.)”
